what to grow off of the legacy of george bush or do you think it can move in another direction? to democrats have a third way for instance? triet astana because of 9/11 they will always be before and after and the legacy to change things for the better and i wouldn't disagree on some counts, but i think i would like a return to the gold watertight of conservatism that a little bit more polished and etymological, and there's a great explosion of recent conservative thinkers like jonah goldberg and shelby steele. these are genius top-notch thinkers and most of them are not old. i am hoping that with their increasing popularity the dialogue shifts a little. these are very thoughtful economics and i think that we need more of them. estimate in terms of the bush legacy for harry truman very unpopular during the administration extremely unpopular when we leave office. history will judge them a little bit differently. i think the decisions that he has made on foreign policy with respect to the war on terror will be viewed as some point in the future as more courageous and less in that

you worked for president george w. bush. is there common ground that needs to be sought on this issue in this country, do you think? >> i think there can be. look, i have two daughters who are the exact same age as the kids who died in newtown. there are a lot of things the republicans can support like the president announced. better gun owner and safety education and mental health support and helping develop emergency responses and the rest but when the president goes to gun control i think the public support and bipartisan support drops dramatically. there is a fox news poll shows only 22% of americans believe more gun control would have actually stopped an incident in newtown where as 71% think the criminals will get guns anyway. the 71% are right. there sim peer call evidence that shows it. i think it is a mistake to go after gun control. >> criminals will always get guns. go ahead, i'm sorry. martha: go ahead, alan. >> criminals will always get guns. doesn't mean you don't make laws. if that is the case you didn't make

bush ing george w. bush when he uses drones to assassinate people abroad so one of the few things they've had is to say well you're not protecting classified information you allowed disclosures of information to wake you leaks on your watch you allowed these instances where the new york times are publishing sensitive information about national security programs and so that's something that they have used and i don't think it's actually worked so their vantage because what you had happen is that barack obama even when he was campaigning puts on a campaign web site how proud he is that he has convicted these people how proud he is that he is gone after the whistleblowers and be a legit leakers and as clam down and has posed these safeguards of classified information that impacts freedom of the press and the mass and that they're obviously this is going to have some type of impact on freedom of the press have to say how much chemical stella blogger at firedoglake thank you for joining me thank you still ah

george herbert walker bush came up with new world order which was his. he got that from somewhere else that made it his own and popularized it. george bush came under a lot of criticism for a lot of his terms and i took them all at face value. i look them up. the cheap shot -- and he was entirely off-the-wall. but i did find -- which was one of his. it injured the language in 1583 and the word resonate came into the english language in 1531. one of the words that is always attributed to him is strategy. it was actually a creation of saturday night live. but the one you can really hang on him is mis-underestimate. but there've been several pretty well-known people who write about language on line including one of the top writers in england who said, he said it actually works. to underestimate by the state which he said happens to all of us especially during a building contract or go especially works like normal sea which will gradually become more and more except of old. i guess i have to jump here. invisible government is his and that secret on between g

george w. bush spoke about the need for immigration reform. he also talked about privatizing parts of social security, more controversially. we will not know for some time the course of those issues. my hunch is, he will be ranked higher than he was on leaving office immediately. that is often the case with former presidents. favorable, unfavorable ratings that show in the four years he has been out of office that his approval ratings have increased fairly substantially. host: we are less than 100 days from the opening of his presidential library. this is exactly what the president will be looking at across pennsylvania avenue from the reviewing stand. it is the riser. all cameras will be focused on the reaction the president is giving to the floats and military parades. you mentioned the speech by george w. bush. this is from may 2006.

elaine chao served as george w. bush's secretary of labor. what would you do to create more jobs in america? >> i think you have to keep the tax rate low. they're a direct burden on the resources of an employer. the unemployment rate has dropped now to 7.7% but that's primarily because labor participation rate dropped to 63.6%, one of the lowest rates we have seen in current years so what we're seeing actually is a lot of discouraged workers, people who can't find jobs and they have just given up and they're no longer working and not counted in the work force anymore so we have got to do more on the job creation side. it's a private sector who does the bulk of the hiring and they've got to have the confidence and that confidence comes from a more reasonable taxation level and reform and fiscal discipline we need in our country to restore our country's overall financial ratings. >> democrats say when's most important is a stable, predictable set of rules, whatever the levels of taxation. steven ratner helped general motors get back in to the b

bush sr. there are a lot of countries in asia that are looking at china's rise with apprehension, and they have asked the united states to get more involved. singapore, philippines, vietnam, japan more importantly, to a certain extent australia. how should we think about this pivot? >> i think we're wise, for instance, to stay out of the disputes in the south china see, see if we can get the parties to resolve those disputes peacefully. now, if those disputes end up creating an impediment to free navigation, freedom of the seas or something, that's a different issue. that then would affect our interest directly. if we ever wanted to build an alliance against chinese attempts to become hegomonistic to that part of the world, we could do so. we could ally with vietnam probably today, interestingly enough. our long-time opponent would be an ally of ours against china, but i'm not sure that that's the way to go. we will have to closely monitor china's military build-up. we plan to do that as i und
